A Garden of Eden Grows in ManhattanFrom the blog No Land Grab, via Curbed NY... of all the April Fools ephemera - this one made me laugh the most. Enjoy!:: image via No Land Grab

Some highlights from the project, which offers:...22 Acres of underutilized land, transformed into a vibrant*, gated enclave. (*or, vast parking lots... it depends)":: World-worthy architecture:: Won't block views of itself:: Will include some units affordable to some people if developer obtains tax-free bonds

:: image via No Land GrabPlus added features to make you swoon...:: 7 Acres of Green Colored Space:: Removal of space wasted on sidewalks and streetsAnd my favorite from the Plan drawings: :: Publicly Accessible Private Open SpaceI love the little broccoli-like vegetated 'hats' as well. Mmmm. I guess if it weren't so plausible, it wouldn't be as funny. Happy April, fools...
